ABSTRACT
This bibliography is intended to fill the gap of available
information on girl-only gangs as a twentieth-century phenomenon of the
United States. Although the topic of girl-only gangs has gained national
attention and research interest, the paper asserts no girl-only bibliographic
tools are available to help locate information on the topic. The emphasis is
on resources related to girl-only gangs, but the paper also includes seminal
works on youth gangs which are intended to provide users the historical and
theoretical aspects of the topic. The bibliography is divided into three
(1) selected monographs on youth gangs and girl-only gangs;
sections:
(2)
popular and scholarly articles on gangs and girl-only gangs; and (3)
newspaper articles related to the topic.

ABSTRACT
Although teenage girls had been involved in criminal activities from
prostitution to infanticide for centuries, the formation of girl-only gangs has been relatively
new phenomenon. More specifically, it is a twentieth century American phenomenon.
Today, despite numerous governmental efforts, this problem is far from being resolved. In
fact, the number of girl-only gangs is on the rise, and moreover they are as violent as boy
gangs.
While this topic has gained national attention and research interest, there
exists virtually no girl-only gang bibliographic tools assisting users to locate information
they need. This bibliography is intended to fill that gap. It attempts to provide students,
researchers, and librarians resources relating to girl-only gangs. Although the emphasis is
on resources related to girl-only gangs, seminal works on youth gang are also included.
They are intended to provide users the historical and theoretical aspects of the topic.
The bibliography is divided into three sections. The first section, which is
subdivided into two parts, contains monographs on youth gang and girl-only gangs. The
second section provides popular and scholarly articles. The final section covers
newspaper articles.
